Chapter 1187 The Shangguan Family Has Arrived Again
"With the aftershocks of a battle at the Saint Emperor level, do you think we're safe just because we're far away? No! Billions of stars will be destroyed because of this. Do you think we have any chance of surviving?!"
An elderly man, who looked disheveled but exuded an air of age and hardship, shouted with great solemnity.
Many people around him turned to look at him, and were also shocked by his remarks.
Their world wasn't destroyed because it was secretly protected by that senior?
real or fake?
From beginning to end, they never saw that senior figure step in to protect the world. They figured their world must be incredibly lucky, right?
"Old man, can you stop talking nonsense? We do have great respect for that senior, that's true, but when did that senior ever protect us???"
A fat man was skeptical of what he said.
He wasn't questioning Ye Chen, but rather wondering how Ye Chen could have been protecting the world while fighting a powerful enemy.
That seems unlikely, doesn't it?
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head as if he were disappointed in someone, and said, "What do you know?"
"That was a fierce battle at the Saint Emperor level! Under normal circumstances, our area would have been affected long ago, and the entire world would have been reduced to ashes!!!"
"But why are we still alive? Isn't it because he happened to protect us? Don't you all understand this simple truth?!"
The old man's analysis was reasonable and convincing.
That certainly seems to be the case. Under normal circumstances, their world would have been reduced to dust by the aftershocks of the battle long ago.
How could he possibly still be alive?
Since they are still alive, there is only one explanation—that senior protected them!
"But we didn't see what methods that senior used to protect us!!!"
The fat man scratched his head, looking puzzled, still unable to understand.
The old man looked at him as if he were a fool, because in his eyes, wasn't this fat man a fool?
The old man could only sigh and say, "You fool, with your meager cultivation, you think you can witness the methods of the Holy Emperor?!"
"If you could truly perceive the Holy Emperor's methods, you wouldn't be at your current level!!!"
The old man shook his head helplessly, utterly at a loss for words.
That person is the Chaos Saint Emperor, a supreme and invincible powerhouse!
What makes you, a big fat boy, so capable of seeing the methods others have set up?
Hearing the old man's words, everyone fell into deep thought, realizing that it seemed indeed true. The methods of a Saint Emperor were unimaginable!
And indeed, that's exactly what they suspected.
While battling the Poison Emperor, the Heavenly Prison Demon Lord, and the Starry Sky Sword Emperor, Ye Chen did indeed take the opportunity to protect this world.
This saved the world from the destruction of the aftermath of the battle.
If he hadn't stepped in to protect it, even the slightest aftershock of the battle would have reduced this world to ashes!
Of course, for him, protecting the world was just something he did casually, not something as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
..................
While the people of Ash City were thrilled to have Ye Chen's protection, two figures suddenly appeared in the outer space where Ye Chen and his companions had just fought.
The two figures were a middle-aged man and a boy.
And they were the two Saint Emperor level experts of the Shangguan family, namely Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Jing.
"Uncle Yan, there are lingering traces of the Holy Emperor's War here! Someone's been fighting here!!!"
Shangguan Jing looked around and was shocked to discover that there was still a strong Holy Emperor's power permeating this part of the universe, which had not completely dissipated.
This means that at least two Saint Emperor level experts were fighting here just now!
Moreover, the residual energy is quite powerful, indicating that both sides in the battle are extremely formidable, even more so than Shangguan Jing!
Just by sensing the lingering power and aura, he couldn't help but feel fear!
He, Shangguan Jing, a Chaos Saint Emperor who feared neither heaven nor earth, felt fear at this moment at the sight of some lingering aura!
This is enough to show that both sides in the battle are at a higher level than him; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a feeling.
"Is it that person?!" Shangguan Jing looked at Shangguan Yan with a solemn expression. The "that person" he was referring to was naturally Ye Chen.
"The person who wreaked havoc in Ashes City and killed members of our clan is very likely our target!!!"
Shangguan Yan also spoke very seriously.
Not long ago, they received news that something big had happened in Ash City.
The three clansmen who were stationed in Jinmie City are all dead!
Upon learning this news, the two of them immediately set out and rushed to the City of Ashes.
The three clansmen who were stationed in the City of Ashes were all incredibly powerful, having reached the peak of the God Emperor realm.
Furthermore, those three clansmen all possessed treasures and equipment that the others had helped them forge. With the enhancement of that equipment, the strength of those three clansmen reached a new level.
When facing opponents of the same level, the three clansmen have a very clear advantage.
Basically, no one can be their match!
Not to mention killing all three of them!
However, the three of them were killed!
To be able to kill all three of them, the opponent's strength must be far superior to theirs!
Alternatively, the opponent possesses a true Saint Emperor-level weapon, which, when used, unleashes incredible power, quickly killing the three Lords of Jinmie City.
Otherwise, the opponent is a true Saint Emperor level expert!
Only a true Saint Emperor could disregard the strength and equipment of the three Lords of Jinmie City and quickly annihilate them!
Regardless of the reason, Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Jing decided to go out and take a look together.
Otherwise, sending out other powerful family members would simply be suicide missions if they encountered that formidable enemy. It would be utterly pointless.
Moreover, they also have a worry hidden deep in their hearts.
That is, the person who destroyed the City of Ashes was none other than the target they had previously hired the Temple of the Beast God to hunt down!
That target was truly extraordinary; he actually killed the Chi Jue and Kuang Xiao duo!
Even if Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Jing joined forces, they would be no match for such a formidable enemy! This was their biggest worry!
Hearing Shangguan Yan say this, Shangguan Jing became very nervous, and his breathing became even more rapid.
He looked around, trying to catch the various complex auras that had dissipated into the cosmos, in order to discern what had happened here not long ago.
